Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi - Sounds like you a making a difference - good for you! I feel bad for the kids that rely on school lunches as their only good meal of the day - processed, fatty, disgusting food is what they get to look forward too - yuck!!!! So sad! When my daughter was in kindergarten & she loved salad, we'd pack her a little salad with cottage cheese in a small wide thermos container and we used to put her salad dressing in little film containers. Worked out very well - & a bunch of the kids in her class started bringing salad in too!!! As you said snacks & water are soooooooo important as well! take care, > > From: Aprilcupcake@... > Date: 2004/02/23 Mon PM 09:18:03 EST > hypothyroidism > Subject: school nutrition > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi Chriss, I'm very passionate about this subject as well. My daughter is only 16 mos old, but I plan on doing the same things as you do. There are a few schools in the country that have totally redone their cafeterias with healthy food (and no soda). Perhaps you could find out how they have managed to do it. I used to work at an afterschool program and they did a pretty decent job, but I prefer the least processed options. My best friend and I would love to open a program that has organic food and perhaps have our own garden there. We both have tons of experience in this area...... ----Original Message Follows---- From: Aprilcupcake@...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 There is a Restauranteur in California that just recently instituted a very interesting program within one of the schools. It is a gardening Co-op in which the students all take turns caring for the garden, and they serve what they grow in the luchroom. I am trying to find out more! I know it will be difficult to do that where I am because we have a very short growing season.... but it may work in other areas! I will keep you all posted. And it is never too early to start participating in the school your daughter plans to attend!.. I'm sure they would welcome it. If we could make school less like an institution it would benefit us all. Chriss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
